How do I get the printer to work with AirPort?

I have had my printer connected via USB cable to the AirPort for a while, but recently when I had to disconnect the printer for some home improvement, I ended up with problems.
Upon reconnecting the printer to the AirPort, I started receiving this message:
USB Power
A device connected to this Apple Wi-Fi base station's USB port requires more power than this Apple Wi-Fi base station can provide. Plug the device into a power supply if possible, or connect it to a powered USB hub.
My printer is connected to a power source, but I still cannot print to it. I can see the printer when I send something to be printed, but it will not actually print.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get my printer to work again?

Thanks for the detail. The dash separates the "main" and "guest" network.
There are a number of settings that are 2.4 GHz on both networks. The only time the dash separates 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz is on the last 3 settings.
Since the printer specifications available on the HP site show it is a b/g device only, I suspect that the printer does not like the current guest setting of 802.11 b/g/n you are currently using, which is also what it would be if the AEBS was set on Automatic.
Try the following setting:
802.11n only 5 GHz - 802.11 b/g
It's really the only choice that would keep the 5 GHz that you want on the "main" network and possibly allow the printer to connect. Unfortunately, the optimal choice for range and speed is not the setting that you may need to work with the printer.
If the printer still won't connect, I would call it a day and when it comes time for a new printer, look first for an ethernet device or at least an "n" device that will handle 5 GHz if you want a wireless printer. The advantage of an ethernet printer would be that it would also work over your wireless.
Please post back on your findings.

We have a Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901 and cannot get the printer to work with airport express - any suggestions?

Can anyone give us suggestions on how to get our Lexmark Pinnacle Pro 901 to work with airport express? We cannot get airport express to recognize the printer.

Refresh all your devices before reconfiguring printer to connect to your computer.
a Shutdown computer
b Pull out printer power cord from the socket. Let it stay for at least 30 seconds then plug it back.
c Powercycle your router (unplug your router for at least 30 then plug it back. This will not change the settings of the router. This will just refresh the device)
d Once router is ready , put back brick at the back of the printer to turn it on
e Wait one minute
f Turn on computer

Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. I have the latest (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) OS-X software.
I have installed the printer using 'System Preferences' on my i-Mac and it appears on the list of available printers but documents that I create just don't print.
Can someone please advise me how I get the Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer to work with my i-Mac?
Thanks, John Lee

Looking at the Konica web site for the PagePro 1300W, I saw the following note.
Please note: This printer is designed to be used in computer operating systems running MS Windows only. Operating systems such as UNIX, Macintosh, or Linux are not supported nor do we have workaround drivers available. Older MS Windows versions, such as Windows 3.1/95/98[pre-SE] and NT 3.51/4.0, are not supported.
So KM are not going to help you. But the LinuxFoundation does provide a workaround that should allow you to print. Have a look at this web page. You will need to install all three packages as per the instructions from that page.

How do I get my printer to work with my iPhone/ipad wirelessly

how do I get my printer epson workforce 610 wirless to work from my iphone/ipad? I downloaded the epson printer app.

Maryannebrabander,
Your comment " ... It was printing great until I did this upgrade." brought to mind a thought:
If you're ever in the SIlicon Valley area of California, specifically Mountain View, CA, I strongly recommend a visit to the Computer History Museum there. This page from the Museum website shows a Calcomp plotter advertisement from 1969:
http://www.computerhistory.org/revolution/mainframe-computers/7/161/689
My question to you is should the iPhone be able to print to the Calcomp plotter? If not, exactly how old would you have a printer (or plotter) be before you dropped support for it? If you ever do drop support, then that would occur at some discrete time - one day it would work, then something would be updated and it would no longer work.

How do I get the printer to work on my hp psc1210v. Every thing else works?

I have an older machine (hp psc1210v all in one)The copier has been working, but I want to use the printer and scanner portions. I do not have an operating disc.

If you just want be able to print, you can simply connect the printer with a usb cable, it should plug-n-play.
If you need the full functionalities, i.e. scan, etc. download and install the hp driver software: http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software3/COL6316/mp-19447-3/rw2_021_w02_enu.exe

Can't get my printer to work with Airport Express

I got a new MacBook today, everything is up and running, so is my Airport express with my DSL line, but my printer is not responding to the connection. I plugged in the USB port from the printer to the Airport and the printer and it doesn't work. I restarted things, went to troubleshooting... nothing helped. It's not the printer because if I plug in the printer USB port directly to my MacBook it works. Anyone have any advice? Thank you!

The directiions on your site are for the Printer Setup Utility that was part of OS X 10.3 Panther. There is no optoin for "IP Printing" in the Tiger Printer Setup Utility, so I don't get how everyone was able to follow the intructions successfully. I sure can't. Is it enough to just add the printer normally using the default browser (as a Bonjour printer) and selecting the aformentioned GIMP driver manually? If not, I need help getting instructions that pertain to Tiger IP Printing. Thanks.

How do I get the messaging to work with Mountain Lion?

I downloaded Mountain Lion. So far everything seems to be working properly but I can't seem to use the new messaging feature. I click on the message icon.....I can access my contacts (although it gives me NO choice of email address - seems to only pick AOL). I've tested it and the recipient doesn't receive the message nor do I see the message on any of my other devices. It's like something isn't syncing. Was I supposed to do something to start it......perhaps turn on a setting? anybody?? thanks.

Will not work. To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported. The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.
